This book, Ocular Surface Disorders, is a comprehensive and definitive text on the diseases of the ocular surface. It has been written by a galaxy of eminent international contributors and draws together current knowledge of the epidemiology, clinical expression, pathophysiology and available medical and surgical therapy for ocular surface diseases. The aim of the book is to assist ocular surface specialists, general ophthalmologists, optometrists, and residents to understand the underlying facets of the physiology and pathophysiology of the ocular surface. This will provide a better context for identifying patients at risk of developing ocular surface diseases, for accurately diagnosing patients, assessing disease severity, developing a treatment plan and monitoring the response to therapy.
